Come visit Bethlehem this Christmas Season!
Walk Through Bethlehem is our Christmas Gift to you!
This totally free, family-friendly event is Friday through Sunday, December 12-14, from 6-8pm nightly.
Walk through the sights, sounds, and smells of what Bethlehem may have been like the night Jesus was born. This isn’t a TV show—it’s a live, immersive experience presented by members of our church who have worked hard to bring the biblical story to life for all who come and see.
The 30–40 minute journey begins as you enter the city gates (but be ready to pay the tax!). With your shepherd-guide, you’ll explore the bustling town of Bethlehem, hear the angels announce His arrival, visit the astonished shepherds in the fields, and finally arrive at the manger to see the Child for yourself.
Q&A - Have Questions? We've Got Answers!
Are there accommodations for those who cannot walk?
Yes, we make every effort to accommodate those who cannot walk through our presentation. Call our office at 251-947-5145 and keep checking this webpage for more information. We do have a limited supply of golf carts available, complete with a driver.
What are the wait times like?
Our small church family of just a couple hundred people welcomes over 2,000 guests to this event, so wait times can sometimes exceed an hour during peak hours. We do our best to move groups efficiently, but please bring a little patience—and maybe some activities for the kids! (We’ll have a few fun things, too.)
Remember, this is a completely free event put on by volunteers who love their community. Thank you for your understanding and grace as we serve you!
Are there really animals?
Yes, and a few rowdy children as well. The animals may bite, but the children usually don't.
What if the weather is bad?
We’ve hosted the walk in warm, chilly, and even drizzly weather. If conditions become unsafe for our cast or guests, we’ll share updates as soon as possible. Please check this page or our Facebook page for the latest announcements (see the social media link below).
Can I make reservations?
We have a limited number of reservations for only 1 of our 3 days. At this time, we have not yet opened up the reservation process. Check back here for more information.
Is this really a free event?
Yes! Walk Through Bethlehem is completely free. Some guests choose to leave a donation, which we gratefully accept to help cover production costs—but you’ll never be asked or pressured to give. We simply want you to enjoy yourself and worship the Lord in this special way.
